How it works in Currency Converter BoB

  1. Before you leave

    Install the app, add your home currency and the ones on your route, and open it once on Wi-Fi.

  2. While travelling

    Type a price in the local currency and see it in yours, offline if needed, or on your watch.

  3. Before you exchange

    Compare the exchange office or card rate with the reference rate in the app. The gap is what you pay.

FAQ

How do you exchange currency when travelling?

Usually the cheapest options are a card with low foreign fees or a bank ATM abroad, paying in the local currency. Airport and hotel exchanges often give the worst rates. A converter shows how far a quoted rate is from the reference rate.

Should I pay in my home currency or the local currency?

Usually the local currency. When a card terminal offers to charge in your home currency, the conversion rate it uses is often worse.

Are the app's rates what my bank will charge?

No. They are reference rates. Banks, cards and exchange offices add their own margin and fees.

Does it work without roaming?

Yes, with the rates it saved the last time it was online.

Can I make a quick cheat sheet?

Add the currencies you need and type a round amount like 10 or 100: the list shows all of them at once.
